The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 94 Serka, the Drama Queen

Just then, amidst a crisp crackling sound, the three legendary elves appeared in a flash of light.

"That's wonderful, Princess Leah, you're finally back!"

The commanders of the allied elven forces finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the three return safely.

"It's taking much longer than expected. Has the plan to raid the human positions succeeded?"

“Uh…” When Lia and Guiras heard this question, they were immediately embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer.

"A resounding victory!" Serka stood with his hands behind his back, a broad smile on his face.
"We taught those humans a lesson, blowing up dozens of their bunkers and towers, and killing more than two hundred human mages, including several high-level mages!"

"But it lets those humans know how powerful we Sun Elves are."

The legendary priest, Guirasser Goldfleur, swallowed hard and forced a smile:

"Uh... that's pretty much what Serka said."

The Japanese Elf commanders were overjoyed.

Although the Japanese Elf alliance withdrew from the battle in name only.

But with such a positive record, it's more than enough to report back to the family!

"Oh, right, the battle scenes were also recorded. They're all our heroic achievements. The human positions suffered heavy casualties!" Serka Radiance gently shook the recording crystal in her hand.

"As expected of you, Lord Serka. A legendary hero who once led his family's army to drive out the eight great orc clans and a frost giant tribe of the North!"

Several Sun Elf commanders were full of praise.

"Oh, by the way, Princess Lia. You've had a long day too... Eh? Your Highness, you were injured in tonight's battle?!"

The Sun Elf commanders then noticed that Lia, the Sun Elf princess, had multiple bruises and swellings on her face.

"Ah I?"

Leah touched the bruise on her face and then realized what had happened—

Isn't this the same elbow strike he received from Serka Radiance when he was chained up?
I didn't even notice until you told me, and it still hurts!
"Ah, Your Highness, I'm sorry. I'll treat you right away."

Guirasser Goldflakes gently touched Leah's face, and pure white positive energy emanated from her hand.

The bruises and swelling on Leah's face faded rapidly.

"Oh dear, it seems these humans are quite troublesome; they actually managed to injure Princess Lia..."

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"What a despicable bunch of humans! I don't know what contemptible means they used to slap him in the face!"

"..."

Leah's lips twitched violently.

She watched as several Sun Elf army commanders from different families gesticulated wildly and vehemently denounced the lowliness and shamefulness of the human race, her expression quite embarrassed.

"Uh...yes...humans are indeed very bad. Their methods are extremely...cunning and evil..."

"Especially... uh, the one who slapped me... he's the most shameless one..."

Princess Lia stammered out her true feelings.

A Sun Elf commander from the "Gold Petal" family, with tears in his eyes, tightly grasped Lia's hand:
"Your Highness, you truly live up to your reputation!"

"Extraordinary courage, leading from the front, severely damaging the enemy camp, and teaching those lowly humans who dared to kidnap Alamir a good lesson. Avenging our Golden Petal Clan!"

“A few years ago, I heard that our Sun Elf King had appointed Your Highness as Crown Prince. I didn’t quite understand it then.”

"Now it seems, Your Highness, you are indeed the most qualified to become the king of our Sun Elf race, and even the entire Elf race!"

Leah was shaken stiffly, her facial expression very unnatural:

"Uh...thank you for the compliment."

The sun elf princess could still hear in her mind the ambiguous smile on Elian's face as he weighed the memory crystal in his hand before leaving.

Aaaaaaahhhhhh, this is really the end! The humans have the upper hand!
"Alright, now that the allied forces have won a great victory, let's proceed with our plan and head back home as scheduled."

Serka, looking relaxed, assigned the next tasks:

"Once we get back, we'll broadcast our victory to all the major Sun Elf clans!"

At this moment, one of the older and more composed Sun Elf commanders asked with a hint of worry:

"But, Lord Serka, you have just raided the human positions. What if the humans retaliate and send a group of high-level spellcasters to raid us as well?"

"Is it necessary to declare martial law for the entire army now?"

Serka waved her hand lightly, her wide sleeves fluttering in the air, her expression calm and composed.
"Don't worry."

"Our victory in this battle far exceeded expectations; we utterly annihilated the human forces!"

"The human kingdom of Eldoron is already terrified. How could they dare to come back and cause trouble?"

Seeing Serka Radiance's confident demeanor, as if she had truly won a great victory and was extremely triumphant, both Lia and Guiras were astonished. They looked at each other awkwardly.

Perhaps this is the difference between an ordinary Sun Elf and a genius?
Ten minutes later.

After everyone else left, only the three legends remained in the tent.

Looking at Guirasser Goldflake, whose face was clouded with worry, Leah gently patted her close friend's shoulder and comforted her:

"Guiraser, you don't need to be so anxious."

"In any case, we have returned safely, and the Elven Kingdom has not lost three legends. The Elven gods will surely forgive our expedient measures."

Guillermo del Toro's lips twitched slightly:
"Uh, actually I'm worried about something else."

"What is it?" Serka and Lia asked.

"After what we've done, will my brother Alamir Kingpin be imprisoned for even longer?"

"Ah!" Serka Radiance and Lia Sunburst exclaimed simultaneously.

So focused on winning, we almost forgot that the coalition's initial goal was actually to rescue Alamir.

……

At this very moment, in the floating city of Eldoron high in the sky.

Inside the simple hut, Alamir Goldflesh, who had been electrocuted to a crisp some time ago and still hadn't recovered, lay sprawled on the cold floor, feeling the chill seep into his very bones.

"Your Highness, my sister, or that bastard Seymour..."

"Anyone is fine with me!"

"When are you going to rescue me?"

……

The Sun Elf commanders didn't really believe Serka's claim that "the humans were too scared to retaliate" and remained worried.

They still ordered the entire army to remain vigilant to avoid being ambushed and retaliated against in the same way by human spellcasters.

However, the human side did not launch any surprise attacks or retaliations along the way, allowing the elven army to leave.

"How astonishing. Princess Lia and her entourage wreaked havoc on human territory, killing so many precious human mages. And the human side hasn't dared to retaliate in kind at all!"

A Sun Elf commander remarked with considerable emotion.

He had seen the footage of the fierce battle recorded in the photographic crystal and knew that the human kingdom of Eldoron had suffered heavy losses in this attack!
"As expected of Lord Serka, you knew all along that humans, a newly civilized and inferior race, would never dare to oppose our Elven Royal Court, which dominates the continent."

"Lord Serka's glorious record has been expanded once again!"

……

What the Sun Elf allied forces, including Princess Lia, did not know was:
Just as they led their troops back to their homeland, the Elf Queen Antinoya, the Whisper of the Moon, was troubled by something else—

In the southern part of the human kingdom of Eldoron, the Dragonblood Legion under the Green Dragon Lord Emerald has been behaving strangely lately!
